Telecom Italia Sparkle (AS6762) operates the Seabone global Tier 1 backbone across 600,000 km of fibre from 181 of its own points of presence with commercial operations in 32 countries, and holds ownership or capacity in a long list of subsea systems including MedNautilus, IMEWE, SEA-ME-WE 5, SEABRAS-1, Curie, Equiano, BlueMed and BlueRaman. It sells IP transit, managed Internet access, Ethernet and transport, subsea and terrestrial capacity, remote exchange access and DDoS mitigation.

Sparkle's subsea position across the Mediterranean, Africa and the South Atlantic is what makes it worth reaching in a carrier-neutral facility — those are routes many North Atlantic backbones only reach through someone else. Transit ports are published as a range from 2 Mbps to 100 Gbps with 400 Gbps cited on the corporate service page, billed flat or burstable and aggregated across several ports. The routing toolkit is fully documented: local-preference and selective-announcement communities, per-exchange control, link aggregation, RPKI validation and a blackhole community, backed by a 99.99% availability commitment. A sale of the business to an Italian state-led consortium was signed in 2025 and has not yet completed.
